For God so loved the world He gave His only Son
Bringing joy to the world
We have overcome
All of darkness met The Light
It can never chase away
One silent night
Still speaks to us today
Generous God, you gave your Son for us
Benevolent King, we have assurance
Peace on earth for your sons and daughters
Let the whole world sing, sing in one chorus
Gloria
Behold the King of kings
Stepped down from Heaven's throne
Rejoice, rejoice
No greater gift we've known
Oh Holy Night
When love came down to earth
Emmanuel
Has broken every curse
Generous God, you gave your Son for us
Benevolent King, we have assurance
Peace on earth for your sons and daughters
Let the whole world sing, sing in one chorus
Gloria

I don't deserve a love like this
But you give and you give
And you give and you give
You're so generous
I don't deserve a love like this
But you give and you give
And you give and you give
You're so generous
Generous God, you gave your Son for us
Benevolent King, we have assurance
Peace on earth for your sons and daughters
Let the whole world sing, sing in one chorus
Gloria
Gloria
In excelsis deo
